I used to rule the world
C C C C Db Bb
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Bb Ab Bb Bb Ab C Eb F
Now in the morning I sleep alone
C C C C C C C Db Bb
Sweep the streets I used to own
Bb Ab Bb Bb C Ab G F
I used to role the dice
C C C C Db Bb
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Bb Ab Bb Bb Bb Ab Bb Bb C Ab G F
Listen as the crowds would sing
C C C C C Db B b
Now the old king is dead, long live the king
Ab Ab C Bb Ab Ab C Bb Ab Ab
One minute i held the key
Ab F F F F C Eb
Next the walls were closed on me
Eb Eb Eb Ab Eb Db C
And I discovered that my castles stand
C C C C C C C C Db Bb
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Ab Ab C Bb Ab Ab C C Bb Ab Ab
Chorus:
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Ab F F F Eb F Eb Bb C Db
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Eb Eb Eb C Eb C F G Ab
Be my mirror my sword my shield
F F F Eb F Eb Bb C Db
My missionaries in a foreign field
Eb Eb Eb Eb Eb C Eb C F G Ab
For some reason I cant explain
F F F Eb F G G G
Once you go, there was never, never an honest word
Eb Eb Eb Eb Db Db C C C C C Db Bb
And that was when I ruled the world
Ab Bb Ab G G C G Ab
Verse 2:
It was the wicked and the wild wind
C C C C C C C C Db Bb
Blew down the doors to let me in
Bb Bb Ab Bb Ab C Eb F
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
C C C C C C C Db Bb
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Ab Ab C Bb Ab Ab Ab C Bb Ab
Revolutionaries wait
F F F F F F C Eb
For my head on a silver plate
Eb Eb Eb Eb Eb Eb Eb Db C
Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh who would ever wanna be king?

About Me
These notes
can be used to play the song on many instruments including the flute, keyboard,
recorder, piano and musical keyboard.
The
piano/keyboard I use is a Casio CTK 240 Electric keyboard which is very basic
but works brilliantly for beginners.
All of my
posts are of the letter/alphabetical notes for many popular songs including
current pop, rock, nursery rhymes, Disney and classical pieces.
I also have a YouTube channel (called “Mint
Music”) where I make videos to assist you in your learning.
Please feel
free to comment any requests, feedback and constructive criticism.
You can
also email me at simplycharlotte11@gmail.com .
Thank you
for reading and have a good day!
An oldie but a goldie - best of luck learning how to play Viva La Vida by Coldplay on the keyboard, piano, flute, recorder, guitar etc.

ReplyDeleteI was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
